Warren co-wrote “Ordinary” with Mags Duval, Cal Shapiro and Adam Yaron, who solely produced it. As reported on Billboard’s newSubstack channel, Duval, celebrated the song topping the Hot 100 on Instagram.
“I think back to the day we wrote this — having no idea how much this would change our lives,” he wrote. “Adam started playing this harp-like guitar part in the living room and I had been wanting to write a love song about a love so powerful it could ‘take you out of the ordinary,’ and that is exactly what this song and group of wonderful humans has done to my life. We opened the little idea the next day, Alex, Cal, Adam and I wrote the whole song [and] sang the choirs and Alex was determined to make this song known.”

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated June 14, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, June 10.

Astute chart-watcher Jake Rivera notes that with “Ordinary” having replaced Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, atop the Hot 100, Warren and McRae are the first artists to earn initial No. 1s on the chart consecutively since a run of three in a row in March-April 2024: Teddy Swims, Metro Boomin and Hozier.
Amid a stretch of multiple hits logging especially lengthy runs on the Hot 100, how does two acts notching first No. 1s in 2025 compare to last year? At this point in 2024, five artists, via four songs, had done so, with seven acts achieving the feat by the end of the year. Here’s a rundown.
2025:
Tate McRae, as featured on Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want” (hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated May 31)
Alex Warren, “Ordinary” (June 7)
2024:
Rich the Kid, Playboi Carti, as featured on ¥$: Ye & Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival” (March 16)
Teddy Swims, “Lose Control” (March 30)
Metro Boomin, “Like That” (with Future and Kendrick Lamar; April 6)
For 2025 not to have the sole fewest first-time acts atop the Hot 100 this decade, five more would need to claim their first No. 1s, matching last year’s total. Previously, nine acts (via seven songs) reigned for the first time in 2023, following 12 acts (five songs) in 2022; eight acts (seven songs) in 2021; and 13 acts (11 songs) in 2020. (2022’s sum of acts is boosted by Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” which has seven artist billings.)
Rest of Top 10: Morgan, McRae & More
Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, two weeks after it bounded in as Wallen’s fourth No. 1 and McRae’s first. It scores a third week atop both Streaming Songs (24.1 million, down 4%) and the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. Wallen follows on the Hot 100 with the No. 2-peaking “Just in Case,” which keeps at No. 3, and “I’m the Problem” (4-5), as I’m the Problem, the parent set of all three songs, posts a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” lifts 5-4 after 13 weeks atop the Hot 100 beginning in March. It adds a 24th week at No. 1 on both the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, extending the longest command on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (dating to October 1958, when the chart became the genre’s all-encompassing songs ranking).
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” repeats at No. 6 on the Hot 100, following its record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1 beginning last July, and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” is steady at No. 7 after five weeks at No. 1 beginning in January.
Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March 2024, and became the year’s No. 1 song, is stationary at No. 8. It posts a record-extending 64th week in the top 10 and a record-padding 94th week on the chart overall.
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” pushes 10-9, swapping spots with Drake’s “Nokia,” with both having reached No. 2. The former adds its 71st week on the chart overall, tying for the eighth-longest stay in the list’s history.
